Her husband let down bucket by
means of a rope. and to this she clunt

however, ruled otherwise, and when
he had raised his wife and the bucket

the moment stretched into two hours
before he made any pretence Of poirR.
After that Tom was at the co tage
often. He took the books and music
for Mrs. Lester, candy and bon.bons

times he took his mother, who was

This was said with great impresse-
ment, but it failed to elicit any re-
Spouse from the still figure at the
piano. Tom put Katie off his knee
and crossed the room. Mrs. Lester
was sitting very straight, very still,
and as Tom leaned his elbow on the
piano, she winked hard to Keep back
two big tears, but Tom saw them,
and before she could stir, had seized
both her hands in his.

cried, exultantly. "You dol" And as
the tears defied all efforts to control
them, and rolled slowly down her

Thurman Declines.

We publish the following extract
from letter written by eX-Scna-
tor Thurman to his son Allen w.
Thurman, as given in the Column
bus Times of July 10th. He says:
"a word about politics. I am firm
ly resolved not to accept nomi-
nation for the Governorship, and 1
look to you, Outhwaite, Linn, and
my other near personal, to prevent
my name from being brought be-
fore the convention. A nomina-
tion would place me in very
awkward position and would COM
pei me to dissappoint many well
meaning and true friends. For
Notwithstanding my warm appre-
citation of their friendship, and the
kind expressions of confidence and
good will from all, I should in my
health be compelled to decline, and
that would injure me and perhaps
the party. Therefore, l repeat do
not let my name be brought before
he convention"

any degree of certainty what lies
in the hidden depths, but If pa

An Insult.

There is not more high-toned
worthy gentleman dwelling within
the limits of Athens County, than
w. w. Poston, of Jacksonville, and
the treatment he received at the
hands of the Athens county dele
gates was an unmerited and gra-
tuitous insult. The formal an
nouncement of his name was un-
called for and unasked, but when
it was presented the shabby treat
ment he received was but of a
piece with the action of the delega-
ton. He was not oily enough to
suit the owner of the delegation.

silly and malevolent clamor Of such
demagogues as Fairchild and Tuttle
and Foraker-these are questions
upon which individuals will differ
widely. But no honest and intelli-
gent human being can read the
letter in which he recalls the
promise to visit st. Louis without
an acknowledgement of the per-
feet rectitude of his purpose and
the striking courage and candor of
his method.
When great organization like
the G. A. r.. who pose as the
country's defenders and the custo-
dian and storehouse Of pure pat
riotism stand tacitly by, and allow
members of it's organization, hold
ing high position in its ranks, to
threaten the Commander in Chief
of the Army and Navy of the U. s.
with insult and violence, should he
attend n public gathering of its
Posts, for no other reason than that
they differ with him in political
faith, they give the lie to all their
protestations of loyalty and patrio-
tism, and render themselves con-
temptible. Men who, in govern
ment like ours, are too good and
pure to associate with u president
elected by majority of votes of
the land, are too good for earth and
the country would be in better con-
dition if they would at once betake
themselves to the realms Ofendless
bliss. The G. A. r. Posts if they
would not be made partaker of the
folly of Tuttle & Co., should at once
repudiate the silly and boorish
threats made by them.

w, A. Shultz. of Fairfield.

w. A. Shultz, of Fairfield.
This of itself Is no crime, but we
always expect some motive for
the acts of men who are accounted
sane, and in this case such motive
does not clearly appear.
It can not be accounted for on
the ground of remuneration for
past favors, for 1t must he distinct
ly remembered that two years ago,
when the election of Welch for
Senator was opposed, and he ran
behind his ticket both at home and
in Fairfield county, Hooking alone
saved him from defeat.
In Fairfield county more than
one hundred Democrats erased the
name of Calvin s. Welch from their
tickets, and in Athens the same or
nearly as great detection was
manifested in proportion to the
vote cast. In this emergency
Hooking, by means of a united eff
fort and unremitting work in his
behalf, saved him from ignomini-
Gus defeat by running him four
votes ahead of the ticket.
The common and most prevalent
impulses of the human heart would
have led him to favor those who
had saved him from defeat, and his
acts as a public servant from repu-
diation, but he chose to act the part
Of the migrate.
We are not able therefore to JUS
tify his acts with the doctrine OF
grateful recollection of past favors,
and must look further and among
the influences that weigh most
heavily among those possessed OF
no political principle, and in whose
minds the tenets of Democratic
faith have no abiding place.
Let it be remembered that one
of the reasons for opposing the
reelection of this unique Athenian
was an alleged crookedness in his
action in regard to the election Of a
United States Senator, it being
claimed by his opponents that he
had not been able to resist the mol
lifying influence of "coal OIL" and
Mr.. Shultz's action was similar in
this respect to the great Athenian
Senator.
Can it be possible that between
Welch and Shultz a community of
interest, feeling, aims and desires
existed and still exist? Both gen.
tlemen voted the same way in the
Senatorial contest, and on Tuesday
both stood together. Can it be
that both being corrupt fear the
possible disclosures of the other, or
was Welch in the market with his
Athens county chattels and was
Shultz the purchaser?
We admit that we do not know
the whole truth, but one or the
other must be the fact. OF this
however we are sure, Calvin s..
Welch has proven himself un-
worthy the confidence, esteem or
support of the Democracy of Hook
ing County.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1887-07-16
Not Orthodox Democrats.

On no occasion in the past has
the Democracy of Hooking County
been known to falter in the sup
port of a candidate, and on no oc-
casion have they ever been charg-
able with the defeat of a candidate
for either Congressional, Judicial
or Senatorial honors, but on the
contrary each candidate in each
and every instance has received
the hearty and undivided support
of the whole party in the county,
until their fidelity has become pro-
verbal, and the standing of every
candidate could be reckoned in ad-
vance Of the election. Two years
ago when Welch, of Athens, had
three hundred and twenty-five less
majority in the three counties than
Hoadly, none of the loss could be
traced to Hooking, and to Fairfield
and Athens is due the honor of
making his majority only one hum
dred and siXty-siX, when it might
have been four hundred and ninety
one.
The above being true, one would
suppose that any citizen Of Hook
who acts in harmony with the par
ty in said county would be free
from question or suspicion, but
such is not the case. On two Oc-
casions has the unwavering Dem
ocracy presented II candidate for
State Senator, and in each instance
the candidate was good enough
Democrat for the Democracy of
Hooking. In each .:instance Fair
field and Athens expressed dissat-
isfaction with Hocking's candidate
and twice on this pretext has the
candidate of Hooking been crowd
ee to the dust, and one of the gild-
ed gods of Fairfield been substitut-
ed, and then after the nomination
he was made to suffer the personal
spite of the modern Democratic
Pharisees, who standing up in the
Democratic temple shout, we fare
holier than thou"
Hooking has always been relied
on to do the voting and Fairfield
and Athens to furnish the capdi-
dates, and this fidelity OF Hooking
has been her bane for thirty-tive
years.
For thirty-five years we have
been fed on the husks refused by
the political swine of Fairfield, the
great and mighty, and Athens, the
learned ? and proud, and in that
time we have learned many lessons
in the school of experience.
We have learned to never expect
anything from Fairfield County.
We have learned that the Demo-
Gratis of Athens county, or two
thirds of them, care nothing for
a sister county and are forgetful of
past favors.
We have learned that the spirit
and letter of true Democracy is to
proclaim that we are the only true
Democrats, and when we are dis
cOntented with candidate to
scratch" at our sweet will.
These lessons have been persist
emily taught us and no one need
complain If they are put in prac-
tice.
